I've just had this jumper arrive which I was all set to send back (ordered a bit too much online recently Blush) but just couldn't, loved the colour, feel and fit, perfect for this time of year.

Thanks Ella. Link doesn't work for me but I'll see if I can find it.

The Peacocks dress is nice too. Is it true to size?

Thrilled would be overstating atm but I bought the new Dyson Airsytyler and am cautiously optimistic that once I get the hang of it it could be a game changer. I used it for the first time yesterday and whilst my hair isn’t quite as bouffy as I hoped, it is frizz free and shiny with as much bounce and movement as I normally get with my Big Hair

@Smellyrose I'm so pleased the Uggs fit you!
They are lovely, can't wait to wear mine which will be soon : )

Ella could you tell me what trousers you're wearing please?

Ellapaella · 12/10/2018 12:04

@Cocolepew they are from NewLook, very cheap ones. I bought them in a rush on Sunday for a work trip away on Monday. I don't wear smart clothes for work very often as I usually wear a uniform so I had to go and buy something last minute. I'll see if I can find a link.

Cocolepew · 12/10/2018 14:25

Thanks Ella, they look great on you.

@MorrisZapp I love the PTR pumpkin enzyme mask! Apparently it works even better with steam, so maybe in the bath? I haven't tried it yet myself, but a friend told me that the girl who does her facials suggested it. I will be trying it out the next time I've got a chance for a good soak instead of a quick shower.

A navy faux fur coat. It arrived today and it's beautiful!

MaudesMum · 13/10/2018 19:25

Two recent bargains from different branches of TK Maxx. A Levis denim skirt - a-line, knee length, buttons down the front - £15. And a smart black jacket (think interviews and meetings) from Benneton, which was a ridiculous £5. I'm not always about the savings, but both of these are really nice - I had two compliments on the skirt on its first wearing....

I'm rather pleased with the Stuart Weitzman for Russell & Bromley bag that I got in the charity shop for a tenner today Smile

I treated myself to new comfy footwear:

Only intended to buy the boots but then saw the shoes and just couldn't leave them behind. Blush Fortunately I had a had a voucher to cover the boots. That's me done for winter.

Picture or link to navy faux fur coat please.

I haven't shopped there for years but recently bought this top from New Look for 10 whole pounds.
It hangs really nicely and looks like something I would usually spend a lot more on. It will do nicely for Christmas.

These for work - the elastic at the back is so comfortable and makes them a nice fit.

... but makes me feel 1 step away from a full elastic waist!!!

Starfish83 · 15/10/2018 04:33

Great post, thanks OP. 😊

This lovely red coat from Mango.

I love a colourful coat! This one's warm and looks great with everything I've tried it with so far. Bonus: it's not scratchy around the neck (hate that feeling).

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 15/10/2018 05:42

I just bought the uggs! I did a half marathon yesterday and my feet are killing me so I thought I would treat myself!

snifflesnifflesnore · 15/10/2018 07:08

Luk Beautifood lipstick. I want the whole range. The colours are so beautiful and long lasting, it's so hydrating and I love that I know I'm not putting chemicals on my lips.

beanaseireann · 15/10/2018 07:30

Where can you get Luk Beautyfood in the UK or Ireland ?

BehemothPullsThePeasantsPlough · 15/10/2018 07:59

Sorely tempted by that Massimo Dutti blazer. I have a range of velvet blazers from charity shops, so I know it’s something I’d wear, and some of them are falling to pieces.

My top purchase has just been retrieved from the tailor where I had the sleeves taken in: it’s a slightly theatrical wool jacket from Armani’s diffusion line. One thousand dollars new, 25 quid from Barnadoes - immaculate condition (always check the cuffs and the lining in the armpits, charity shop fans).
